About the Harrison Legal Group

Entertainment industry professionals find success with their art because they surround themselves with a team of advisers whom are knowledgeable and trustworthy. A critical member of this advisory team is the Entertainment Lawyer, whose job is to maximize the earnings potential of artistic talent and protect these earnings from unscrupulous opportunists looking to feed on their success.

In addition to being informed and experienced, one should be sure to select an attorney who is respected in the industry, who regularly networks with industry players, who is skilled in negotiation, who is reachable 24/7 and is responsive to your needs.

Since 2005, Harrison Legal Group has provided quality service in a variety of arts and entertainment legal areas, offering potential clients the same resources as many large firms, without sacrificing the personalized focus and attention that comes with a modest-sized staff.

The Harrison Legal Group will use all the tools at its disposal to protect your intellectual property or to manage your artistic career. No matter your specific needs are our team of highly-skilled attorneys will be beside you every step of the way. A professional photographer himself, Matthew B. Harrison, senior partner, has the credentials and the experience to get the job done for you. Harrison graduated cum laude from Western New England College School of Law with a Juris Doctor, and from the University of Massachusetts, cum laude, with a Bachelors of Arts in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Harrison just received his Masters of Fine Arts Degree from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.

Harrison was the assistant editor of his law review while in law school, but due to an unexpectedly hurried decision by an appeals court, Harrison’s note was pre-empted and therefore unable to be published. However, Harrison still puts his pen to the paper and is currently writing a legal resource for photographers that should be released in Spring 2012.

While Harrison’s legal credentials are impressive, his total qualifications do not end there. Harrison maintains an artistic photography studio in Springfield, MA. His work is regularly featured in various galleries across New England and has been published in a variety of newspapers, magazines, and promotional materials.
